Ride the Star Wind Personalized by Artist, Nick Gucker

We've been working with the artist Nick Gucker, who did the cover for Ride the Star Wind, to personalize each of the Kickstarter and pre-order hardcover copies. We even have some footage of him doodlefying them. And you can watch him! It's hypnotizing. (You still have a little over a week to pre-order your own copy with a unique sketch.)

The Queen of No Tomorrows by Matt Maxwell

Broken Eye Books is publishing the novella The Queen of No Tomorrows by Matt Maxwell. This is a crime horror tale set in Los Angeles of the recent past, one close enough to remember—sharing the world first introduced in the short story "Chunked" (from Tomorrow's Cthulhu).

History once-forgotten is thrust to the forefront as criminal organizations exploit elder powers and perhaps find themselves exploited...

The Obsecration by Matthew Bartlett

Something is stirring in the greased air sliced by whirling ceilin...

Broken Eye Books is publishing The Dying Empire by Remy Nakamura as an ongoing serial of weird fiction short stories. This is a fungal dieselpunk setting centered in 19th-century Japan. It's a world in which the British fuel their rise to power on fungal biotech instead of on coal, steam, and steel.

"Steampunk makes it easy to glorify the British Empire and to gloss over its abuses," says Remy, "but in The Dying Empire, its fungal-fueled might brings its reliance on plunder and decay to the s...
